ABSTRACT :
Ceramics constitute a large family of inorganic materials within the group of nonmetals. They fall into three subgroups, silicate-based ceramics, oxide-based ceramics
and oxide-free ceramics. As early as 1989, VITA began marketing the first material of
the VITA In-Ceram all-ceramic system – VITA In-Ceram ALUMINA. Since then, the
manufacturer has continued to develop new innovative materials within the framework
of this concept. To date, prosthetists and dentists have a set of five very different
materials for various processing methods. In this article, we will see the main features
of this process for better use.
KEY WORDS : Ceramic, In ceram, Toughness, Aesthetics, Resistance
